The Gooch Lane church of Christ is a group of people in Madison, Alabama seeking to study the Bible and put God’s teachings into practice. We’d love to have you join us for Bible study and worship.
All in Faith
“Many things about tomorrow, I don’t seem to understand; but I know who holds tomorrow, and I know who holds my hand.”
Psalms is far more than a book from which to pull pithy statements for greeting cards; it is a divinely inspired model of approaching God and dealing with life’s problems.
Walking with God means to
be faithful, obedient and committed to Him. Or, as Micah wrote in Micah 6:8,
“He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of
you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?”
Perhaps Mark would like for his readers to recognize a distinct difference between the Lord’s apostles and the sailors transporting Jonah to Tarshish
Can you see yourself in this story? We have a lot in common with Rick. We are the helpless sons.
Let us consider this: What is harder? Causing a mountain to move, or rising from the dead? If we have already come to accept that Jesus rose from the dead, and that through his life we too shall find hope in His resurrection, then why do we find the statement about moving mountains so difficult?
Despite whatever dangers may be present, personal safety must never become more important than faithfulness to God.
When we live in this manner, we trivialize God in the most blasphemous way. Unlike the atheist who believes there is no God to be dealt with, we believe that we don’t really have to deal with the God who does exist.
